House Sponsors: MAUTINO-MCKEON. Short description: ST AUDIT PUB TRANSIT AGENCIES Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois State Auditing Act. Requires the Auditor General to conduct annual post-audits of public transit agencies. Specifies items to be included in the post-audits. Requires the employment of an additional Deputy Auditor General to be responsible for the post-audits. Requires the Auditor General to annually report the results of audits of public transit agencies to the General Assembly, the Governor, and the Legislative Audit Commission, to distribute summaries to interested parties, to post the results on a web site the Auditor General must create and maintain, and to publicly present the results at hearings requested by the General Assembly or a public transit agency. FISCAL NOTE (Auditor General) The number of public transit agencies that would receive State funding under this $4 billion program is unknown. The bill ap- pears to require each dollar passing under the program to be audited, and that audit is required to encompass detailed per- formance measurements as well as fiscal operations. While an exact dollar estimate of the cost of HB 741 cannot be obtained, the Auditor General Office would incur very significant person- nel, travel, report preparation, and publication costs in car- rying out its requirements.
